Acura has announced that it will reveal a new concept car during Monterey Car Week and is teasing it with an image ahead of time. Dubbed the Precision EV, the concept is said to embody "the future of Acura design, electrified." Acura hasn't provided many details on the concept just yet, but the teaser video reveals that the electric powertrain will be paired with a flashy design.
The teaser shows the front end of the concept, which is painted in a vivid shade of blue. The styling is reminiscent of the design language currently seen on the MDX SUV and TLX sedan—striking, pointed headlights with a check-mark-shaped LED element run into a pentagonal grille. Instead of the quilted mesh seen on Acura's gas-powered models, the concept's grille appears to have a blanked-off design with a blue, rhombus-shaped pattern. The air intake carved into the bumper also has an assortment of illuminated rectangular styling cues.
This isn't the first time Acura has revealed a concept bearing the name Precision. The first Precision concept, revealed back in 2016, debuted the current design language found across Acura's lineup, with sharply angular lines, crystalline lighting elements, and the "Diamond Pentagon" grille. While that concept took the form of a sleek sedan, the Precision EV concept appears to be much larger with a more SUV-like roofline, and seems to continue in the same design themes as the original Precision concept. The Precision EV will be revealed in full on August 18.
